Aww the poor thing :-( She sounds like a sweetheart. I hope they all settle in "soonly"! My girls are all SO mean to our 2 orpingtons who are about 6 weeks younger than the rest. If the girls are out in the run, the orps stay in the coop and vice versa. I feel so bad for them. HOW long does this integration process crapola take!!? SHEESH!

Do your orps sleep on the roost with the others? If not, you can try and put them on the roost with the others..maybe thatll help?

Thanks for all the welcomes,MAN this thread moves fast!
probably a long shot but dose anyone here know of any Heritage RIR breeders in the HV?

 

[DoubleC]

No, I don't. Sorry!

 

[ny mason]

what breeds do you work with/know of?

I have one RIR hen. She started my chicken-mania. She was sick and tossed out of her coupe to die, so as not to infect the owners other chickens. I couldn't believe that her owner tossed her in a field for the hawks, a day before a major snow storm. She made it, we found her, nursed her back to health...and she's a great bird. Let's see, we have 1 NH red, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Americana, 2 Black Australorps and our newest addition, a salmon Favorelles.

Good for you for saving that hen!! It is disgusting the way some people treat there animals.Its nice to know there are still good people such as yourself in this world.
I have 4 9wk old pr RIR pullets 2 golden comets,1 barred rock and a rooster of unknown origins.I would like to focus on RIR heritage birds mainly but have been unable to fine them locally.
just to let you {and everyone else in the HV} know I have a great breeder in the town of wallkill that has golden comets,barred rocks,P.R's and delawares.he also has pot belly pigs and rabbits.
feel free to drop me a line for his contact info.
